Washington,
D.C., Jan 26, 2012 (Washington Bangla Radio) The brilliant, Grammy
Award-winning pianist Yefim Bronfman returns to perform a program of
works by Brahms, Liszt and Prokofiev at The Music Center at Strathmore
on March 2. Bronfman’s technique and exceptional lyrical gifts have won
consistent critical acclaim and enthusiastic audiences worldwide for his
solo recitals, orchestral engagements and broad catalog of recordings.
Said
the New York Times of Bronfman’s “fine musical instincts” in a
performance with the New York Philharmonic, “Bronfman played every
passage with clarity and honesty. During the vehement episodes [he
performed] with steely power and uncanny ease. Yet in the slow movement
he showed another side, playing with exceptional elegance and milky
pianissimos.” Said the Chicago Sun Times of Bronfman’s performance of
Prokofiev’s Second Piano Concerto, “As soloist, the ever-phenomenal
Yefim Bronfman showed how this often banged-about score can be played
with both technical and musical finesse.”

Bronfman’s 2010-2011 North American season highlights included
performances of Tchaikovsky’s First Piano Concerto with the orchestras
of Houston, Cincinnati and St. Louis, and Brahms’s Second Text Box: Who:
